Contaminació de l’aire

Segons l’Organització Mundial de la Salut, es calcula que set milions de persones moren cada any a causa de l’exposició a la contaminació de l’aire.

Començant a Espanya, estudiaran com millorar la qualitat de l’aire a les ciutats mitjançant la recollida i anàlisi de dades, i discutiran amb científics, experts en salut global i altres grups d’interès rellevants.
